Smoky Peppadew & Paprika Potato Salad
Jami Sorrento was our June Daring Cooks hostess and she chose to challenge us to celebrate the humble spud by making a delicious and healthy potato salad. The Daring Cooks Potato Salad Challenge was sponsored by the nice people at the United States Potato Board, who awarded prizes to the top 3 most creative and healthy potato salads. A medium-size (5.3 ounce) potato has 110 calories, no fat, no cholesterol, no sodium and includes nearly half your daily value of vitamin C and has more potassium than a banana!
What says summer more than potato salad? School's out, the days are long, the weather is
delightful okay…actually…our weather is fine…but June Gloom is in full effect! A quick look outside would make you think it was chilly and dreary…but by 4 o'clock the sun is usually burning through the clouds and making an appearance. We felt like breaking out our barbecue for the first time this year, throwing some hot dogs on the grill and eating on the patio. Woody insisted on straightforward sides – as in cheetos…but don't worry…we bumped the level of sophistication by getting the Baked Cheetos (did you know they make these…and they are delicious…there is hardly any difference in taste from the real fried ones…makes me wonder why they fry them in the first place!…I digress).
I love a good 'ole standard mayo-based potato salad…but the Daring Cooks challenge calls for a healthier version., and we switched up the flavor profile a bit to make it a little more interesting. Never a dull day around here!
Smoky Peppadew & Paprika Potato Salad
Servings: 4
1 pound small red creamer potatoes or any other baby reds
3 peppadew pickled peppers,diced small
3 green onions, sliced thin
1 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
Dressing Ingredients:
½ cup greek yogurt (we use Fage Greek yogurt)
½ tsp. smoked paprika
¼ to ½ tsp. harissa paste (to taste)
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
¼ tsp. of Pickapeppa sauce
Squeeze of fresh lemon juice
½ tsp. of sea salt and a grind or two of pepper
1. Scrub potatoes and leave on skins, cut into quarters
2. Boil potatoes till tender, about 15-20 minutes
3. Drain and cool
4. Dice peppadew peppers
5. Mix dressing, add peppadew peppers, taste for seasoning, and then toss in the cooled potatoes
6. Add in the sliced green onions and fresh cilantro and toss gently to mix
7. Chill and garnish with fresh cilantro and serve!
Yogurt. Put it in the bowl.
Peppadew peppers are delicious…a mild and sweet pepper that is pickled and originates from South Africa. Our favorite way to serve peppadews is whole, stuffed with goat cheese and topped with some fresh ground pepper and parsley. These peppers have become very available in the last few years, you can find them in jars on the pickle or roasted pepper aisle in the grocery store, or more recently, they are pretty common in the olive bar area as well.
Slice and dice the peppers and set aside. Harissa is hot chili paste used in many parts of North Africa and adds another complex flavor and a bit of heat to the dressing.
Add the peppadews, paprika and harissa to the yogurt along with a squeeze of lemon. The peppadews add a bit of vinegar to the dressing, so not much lemon is needed.
Mix it all up.
Add in the potatoes and stir gently.
Add the green onions
Chill and serve.
BONUS! I didn't stop at one potato salad…nope…I made two. 'Cause I'm crazy like that! This next one is a bit more traditional but still on the healthy side, recipe is a variation of Jami Sorrento's Creamy Yogurt and Dill Potato Salad, our hostess for the June Daring Cooks Challenge.
Creamy Yogurt & Dill Potato Salad
Servings: 4
1 pound small red creamer potatoes or any other baby reds
1-2 Celery stalks, sliced thinly
Dressing Ingredients:
3 tablespoons fresh dill
½ cup greek yogurt (we use Fage Greek yogurt)
1 teaspoon sea salt
Juice of ½ fresh lemon
Dash of Champagne Vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Dill for garnish
1. Scrub potatoes and leave on skins, and cut into quarters
2. Boil potatoes till tender, about 15-20 minutes
3. Drain and cool
4. Slice celery
5. Mix dressing, taste for seasoning, then add cooled potatoes and celery
6. Chill and garnish with dill sprigs before serving.
Together at last…
Sit down and enjoy…hot dogs, baked cheetos, greens and of course – Potato Salads!
I like the sound of the first one best. Peppadews sound fun! And Pickapeppa sauce!!! I just got some of that on a trip to Jamaica. Yay!June 14, 2011

The tamarind, a tropical shade tree native to India, also grows in Southeast Asia, Africa, Hawaii, Mexico, South America, and, of course, the Caribbean. Its long brown brittle bean-like pods each hold a sweet-sour sticky brown pulp containing up to ten seeds. Its flavor is akin to dates mixed with lemon and peaches.
Just as we in the West often use a squeeze of lemon to lift the richness of a dish, in Asia they use tamarind. The American palate is not accustomed to the tamarind's particular brand of sourness, and so Western dishes using the fruit are usually tempered by ingredients that soften its acidity. In this dish, the heavy cream in the Smoky Plantain Crema balances the tamarind's acidity, while the chipotles complement the flavor of the grilled duck meat.
When preparing this, note that the duck should marinate overnight.
- Yield
- Makes 6 servings
- 3 whole boneless duck breasts, cut in half and trimmed (you can ask your butcher to do this)
- 1 recipe Sugarcane Marinade with Tamarind
- 1 recipe Smoky Plantain Crema
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- With a sharp knife, score the skin of the duck breasts in a crisscross fashion. Put them in a large resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Refrigerate overnight, turning the bag occasionally.
- Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill.
- When the coals are ready, lightly oil the grill rack. Remove the duck from the marinade, allowing the excess to fall away, and place the duck skin side down on the grill. (Be careful, as dripping fat may cause the fire to flare up.) Grill for 6 minutes. Flip the breasts over and grill for an additional 7 or 8 minutes, or until medium-rare in the center. (If the duck begins to brown too much, move it to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking.) Allow the breasts to rest for a few minutes on a platter.
- Rewarm the crema over low heat and spoon it onto six dinner plates. Cut each duck breast crosswise into thin slices and season with salt and pepper. Lay the duck slices atop the crema and serve.
- Recommended wine: A Malbec from Argentina to go with the tamarind in the barbecue sauce.

I found the pattern for this 9" Baseball Star block in Judy Martin's Ultimate Book of Quilt Block Patterns. (I reduced it from it's original 12" down to 9".)
In these diary entries, Frank is Hattie's date and will later become her husband and my grandfather. Betty, Fannie, Lucile, and Bobbie are Frank's siblings (and my great aunts and uncle). Ada Sullivan later marries Frank's brother Russell and becomes my great aunt, too!
The Grange (officially The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry) is a fraternal organization for American farmers that encourages farm families to band together for their common economic and political well-being. It was founded in 1867 and is the oldest surviving agricultural organization in America. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_National_Grange_of_the_Order_of_Patrons_of_Husbandry
Wednesday, August 30, 1916 -
"There hasn't been much excitement today. I have spent a good share of the time ironing, but we were anxious to get it all finished as we are taking in the Grange Fair tomorrow - at least some of us.
Thursday, August 31, 1916 -
"After a little skidding and hair breadth escape from being ditched, we just now got in at eleven o'clock. I think it's a shame it had to rain today when we wanted the sun to shine, but of course we are very thankful for the rain.
"At a quarter before twelve, Frank phoned that he would be over in about an hour if it didn't rain anymore. Right after dinner I got ready, and we started soon after one. Betty went with us, and there was quite a crowd assembling, but the weather was so doubtful that many turned back. We listened to the vocal and reading contests and looked at the exhibits which were splendid, and after awhile, Ada Sullivan and Gladys Condon went with us to the ballgame. It was very exciting. Plymouth beat Key West about 7-0, and there were still more exciting horse races after the game. There was a light drizzle going on during the game, but it let up while we ate supper. They had fixed up the nicest lunch, and we were so hungry that we all did full justice to it.
"The play was the most unique one I ever attended. In itself, it would have been very good if it hadn't been that it started to rain again about the middle of the first act. Frank's car was furnishing lights, so we had driven right up the center aisle of the 'Airdome' and sat in the car. Fortunately, we were in shelter. But the actors and actresses had no roof over them, and some of them wore their rain coats during it all. Of course, they had to rush through and put on no extras whatever. The cattle over in the show grounds were bawling full force, and everything was making so much noise that we could hardly hear. It had stopped raining by the time we got started, but the roads over there were surely slick. Fortunately, we encountered no deep ditches. We took Betty, Fannie, Lucile, and Bobbie home first. We didn't find the roads quite so slick over this way."

In this study I use the notion of 'capabilities poverty', as theorised by Sen, to examine the experiences of learners attending informal settlement schools in North-West Province, South Africa. Sen distinguishes between functionings (what people do or their ability to do something) and capabilities (various combinations of what people do, their notions of freedom, what life opportunities they may have). The study was based on a sample of respondents from four schools in the Sarafina informal settlement in Ikageng township in the municipal district of Tlokwe (Potchefstroom). It captured some complexities of schooling within South Africa's democratic educational framework and clearly exposed the manifestations of capabilities poverty. The precise location of capabilities poverty within the plethora of poverty approaches presents educational research with a reality check when looking at informal settlement schools. The study revealed a multiplicity of barriers for informal settlement learners that prevent them from choosing the educational experience they value and contributes to research into the nuanced nature of the interface between poverty and schooling.
Keywords : capabilities poverty; informal settlement schools; poverty; schooling; schools.

WASHINGTON — Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez doesn't want a repeat of starter Alex Wood's outburst that got him ejected from Wednesday night's game against the Washington Nationals.
He'll take the offense's surge that came an inning later, though.
Justin Upton and Dan Uggla each homered in a three-run sixth inning, and the Braves rallied past the Nationals for a 5-2 victory, lowering their magic number for clinching the NL East title to two games.
"We struggled early, but it was bound to happen," Upton said. "We've been struggling for a while here. At some point, we had to break out."
Brian McCann and Jordan Schafer also drove in runs as the Braves snapped a three-game skid. Atlanta has not won the division since 2005, the last of 11 straight titles.
Washington entered 4½ games behind Cincinnati for the second NL wild card.
"That's just not enough," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said of taking the series two games to one. "We just can't afford to lose."
Washington revealed after the game that Stephen Strasburg is being pushed back for the second time because of forearm tightness. He was scheduled to start Thursday but could not get loose Wednesday. He's now scheduled to start Saturday.
"I don't really know why it's happening," said Strasburg, who will be replaced by Gio Gonzalez in the rotation. "When it happens, it happens. It's like a strong cramp. So, I just think it would put us in a bind if I went out there and felt it."
Kameron Loe (1-2) got one out for the win. Craig Kimbrel, Atlanta's seventh pitcher, rebounded from his loss Tuesday to record his 48th save.
As he was being replaced after giving up two runs in the fifth inning, Wood was ejected for shouting and pointing at home plate umpire CB Bucknor. The rookie was upset with Bucknor's ball-four call with the bases loaded earlier in the inning.
"It was just one of those things where I let my emotions get the best of me there," Wood said. "In the latter part of that inning it was a big situation. I kind of felt it could have gone the other way and I did some things, said some things I probably shouldn't have said. (I) Immediately regretted it after I got inside."
The inning began when Anthony Rendon singled and Washington pitcher Ross Ohlendorf bunted him to second. Span then hit a bouncer to first that Freddie Freeman bobbled for an error, putting runners on first and third.
After Ryan Zimmerman walked to load the bases, Jayson Werth walked on a close 3-2 pitch to force in the game's first run.
Wood slammed his pitching hand into his glove as he came down off the mound and began yelling at Bucknor. Third baseman Chris Johnson attempted to calm Wood, while Fredi Gonzalez came out to argue and was ejected by Bucknor.
"I thought I made a pitch and I didn't. I reacted probably the opposite of the way I should of," Wood said.
Asked what he thought of the pitch after seeing the replay in the clubhouse, Wood said, "He called it a ball. It's a ball."
When play resumed, Bryce Harper hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Span.
Atlanta bench coach Carlos Tosca came out to remove Wood, who shouted and pointed at Bucknor on his way to the dugout.
"You don't do that kind of stuff on the mound. But he was fired up," Gonzalez said.
"That's something you learn from, and control your emotions. So, we'll chalk it up as a young starter in an emotional game that we wanted to win, and he got himself a little excited."
Washington's Denard Span extended his hitting streak to 29 straight, the longest in the majors this season.
Ohlendorf (4-1) allowed three runs over six innings.
The right-hander, making his second start in place of Strasburg, retired 10 straight to start the game.
But with Atlanta trailing 2-0 in the sixth, Uggla led off with his 22nd homer.
"I mean you can never tell," Uggla said of Wood's outburst. "Things like that, sometimes they can spark something, sometimes the other pitcher just bears down."
Schafer then bunted and went all the way to third when Ohlendorf's throw to first sailed down the right field line.
Ohlendorf got two outs, but Upton hit the first pitch he saw over the wall in left-center to put Atlanta ahead 3-2. It was Upton's 23rd home run.
NOTES: Atlanta won the season series, 13-6. ... Atlanta OF Jason Heyward (fractured jaw) took simulated at-bats Wednesday, saying it went well. "It's something to be excited about, but I've got work to do and I'm not going to be satisfied until I'm back," he said. ... SS Andrelton Simmons didn't start after playing through neck tightness in Tuesday's doubleheader. Gonzalez said the decision was precautionary, and Simmons entered the game in the seventh. ... Washington LHP Ross Detwiler (back strain), on the DL since July 7, threw a bullpen session Wednesday. He'll throw another this week and then travel to Viera, Fla., to pitch in the Instructional League Monday. Johnson said given the number of games left, it's unlikely Detwiler will pitch for Washington again this season. ... The Braves open a three-game series Friday at the Cubs.

Croup is a condition that affects babies' and young children's airways. It's usually mild, but call NHS 111 or see a GP if you're worried.
These are the symptoms of croup:
- a barking cough that sounds like a seal (you can search online to hear examples)
- a hoarse voice
- difficulty breathing
- a rasping sound when breathing in
Your child will usually have cold-like symptoms to begin with, such as a temperature, runny nose and cough.
Croup symptoms usually come on after a few days and are often worse at night.
If you're not sure it's croup
Croup usually gets better on its own within 48 hours.
Until it does:
stay calm
sit your child upright
comfort them if they're distressed (crying can make the symptoms worse)
give them plenty of fluids
do not put your child in a steamy room or get them to inhale steam
do not give them cough or cold medicines
Non-urgent advice: Call NHS 111 or see a GP if:
- you're worried
- your child is getting worse
- they're no better after 48 hours
Immediate action required: Go to A&E or call 999 if:
- your child is struggling to breathe (you may see their tummy sucking inwards or their breathing sounds different)
- their skin or lips start to look blue or grey
- they're unusually quiet and still
- they suddenly get a very high temperature or become very ill

I said a few months ago that I was nervous about the 2009 Bears after they acquired Jay Cutler. After watching tonight's game, I have to say, I'm a bit more nervous. Cutler is really good. On the last drive of the first half, Cutler threw some bullets, some touch passes and ended the drive with a perfectly thrown low ball pass to Forte for a TD. He's good, they have a very good RB, their receivers (including TE Greg Olsen) will prove more than adequate and their defense will be strong again. Chicago may be a force in the NFC North this year. (One worthwhile note: Cutler can be rattled, so it will be critical for our 3-4 D to get to him early.)
As a prelude to my annual NFL predictions, I will offer this: in 2009, the NFC North will be the 2008 NFC East. Our division could end up being one of the better divisions in football.

Clark Kent spent his formative years in a little Kansas town known as Smallville, where he learned the values he would carry with him as Superman. But in the real world, there is no such town as Smallville, Kansas, a fact that one comic book artist and Superman fan is out to change.
Artist Christopher Wietrick has launched a campaign to see his town, Hutchinson, Kansas, renamed "Smallville," and recognized as the official hometown of Superman. His Facebook campaign "Hutchinson Should Be Named 'Smallville'" lists off the various ways that Hutchinson resembles the fictional small town, including geography, population, and local culture. Certainly much of Wietrick's desire to see the town renamed comes from his personal passion for the Man of Steel, but he has a practical reason for seeking the name change as well: tourism. He hopes that, much like Metropolis, Illinois, Smallville, Kansas, could be a destination for fellow Superman fans, especially if the town features its own DC-inspired public artworks.
It's not clear how much of Hutchinson backs Wietrick's dream of Smallville and Superman tourist dollars, but Hutchinson's campaign attracted the notice of the local CBS affiliate, which did a brief story on Wietrick. Wietrick also plans to release a comic outlining his reasons for why Hutchinson would make the perfect Smallville later this month.
If your town would consider changing its name to fit with a fictional origin story, would you be in favor of it?
Update: Ben Eisiminger, one of the fellows involved in this campaign, was kind enough to hop in the comments. Eisiminger, Wietrick, and their co-founder KC McNeely are all part of the campaign to see their town renamed. They do intend to petition the city of Hutchinson for a name change, but they also want DC and Warner Bros. to recognize Hutchinson as the official Smallville.

This guest post was contributed by Karol Estrada, a postdoctoral research fellow in the Analytic and Translational Research Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. It is dedicated to the memory of Laura Riba.
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of common variants have successfully implicated more than 70 genomic regions in type 2 diabetes, revealing new biological pathways and potential drug targets. However, most large studies have examined genetic variation only in northwestern European populations, despite the rich genetic diversity in other populations around the world. Most studies have also been limited in their ability to detect variants present in fewer than 5 percent of people. Much remains to be learned.
In this post, we discuss our new paper, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, on a low-frequency missense variant in the gene HNF1A that raises risk of type 2 diabetes five-fold, and was seen only in Latinos. This variant was the only rare variant to reach genome-wide significance in an exome sequencing study of almost 4,000 people, the largest such study to date. We explain the ramifications for sample sizes of rare-variant studies, note the importance of studying populations outside of northwestern Europe, and caution against simplistic dichotomous interpretations of disease as either complex or monogenic. Finally, we note that a low-frequency or rare variant might guide therapeutic modification.

For the past 3 1/2 years I have worked in special education as a instructional assistant in an autistic classroom working with kids ages 12-17 years old. My work streak has come to an end now so I can prepare for my next venture in life; being a Mommy. Chris teasingly says I have officially begun my early retirement.
I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to truly work amongst angels on earth. I moved down here in 2006 in the midst of one of the biggest trials of my life. Thankfully I was able to get that job right away and my life has been blessed because of it ever since. Working with those sweet kids each day who bravely face life's challenges with a smile on their face was an incredible example to me. Going to work helped me to forget myself and focus on making their day the best it can be. Any trials I have had the past 3 1/2 years were quickly put out of my mind as I spent time with them.
I'll take with me some of the sweetest memories of my life that I will always cherish. I feel so much more confident going into this next chapter of my life thanks to what they have taught me.
I love you kiddos!!! I can't wait til we meet on the other side and I can tell you how much you blessed my life on earth.

Early Retirement
For the past 3 1/2 years I have worked in special education as a instructional assistant in an autistic classroom working with kids ages 12-17 years old. My work streak has come to an end now so I can prepare for my next venture in life; being a Mommy. Chris teasingly says I have officially begun my early retirement.

Idaho Trip | Day Four & Five
Day four of our trip was a Saturday so we were able to check out Moscow's farmers market. We had a good time walking around and checking out all the random fun things for sell. I have to say, either Moscow has more hippies or I forgot how many they had.
After that we went to NRS. It's a business that started up in the Palouse. They sell anything you could ever possibly need/want related to rafting and canoeing.
Later that day we walked over to Hordman's Pond. It's just right around the corner from my parents home. I have a lot of good memories of catching fish, snakes, frogs and turtles if you were really skilled. They have a little park there so we hung out and let the kids play, that includes Chris of course.
My Mom with John and Brian.
I think Chris is ready for this Dad stuff don't you?
Day Five
This was a sad day for me, I did NOT want to go back home to Arizona. Other than missing Skippy (our dog), there was really nothing I cared to come back home too. I cried before we even left the house. We drove on up to Spokane and off we went. Now we are back. . . here. . . and HOT.

Idaho Trip | Day Three
On day three of our trip we headed out to Elk River.
First stop was Huckleberry Heaven. They have some yummy huckleberry ice cream so we all grabbed a cone.
We drove around for awhile and found a great spot to play around and have a picnic. Chris had a great time playing with John and Brian.
We were pretty lucky to have gone up on one of the two coolest weekends Elk River has. One is the boat races, the other is their 'Elk River Days.' We were able to see people gearing up their race boats for the next day. It was a lot of fun to see how fast they could go.
We had a fun scenic drive home. I enjoyed every minute of seeing Idaho in all it's glory. . . Chris on the other hand fell asleep. Later that day Chris took some pictures of my brother's family. You may have seen them on his photography blog.

Idaho Trip | Day Two
Our second day in Idaho was just as great as the first. We woke up to the smell of bacon, eggs and yummy food! I'm sorta ashamed to say I could probably count on one hand how many times I've actually made Chris breakfast. That was a real treat for both of us.
After that we headed over to the University of Idaho campus to see my Dad hard at work. He gave us a great tour of the ins and outs of Computer Services at the U of I. It was fun to see how the campus has grown.
Then we met up with my brother and his family. They came up from Boise to visit Moscow too. We walked around one of the university's arboretums. They planted trees from all over the world, have three ponds and various other plants and wildlife.
Brad and Brian.
Marissa and John.
My one big request for going out to eat in Moscow was Zips. I've talked up Zips for the past three years so Chris was expecting some sort of French cuisine. It's really just a good ol' burger joint with the best fry sauce ever. I chowed down! I think my nephew John enjoyed it as much as I did.
You can't come to the Palouse area without seeing the bears at WSU.
If you look closely you can see the smile on this bears face.
This one was pretty cute, I think he smelled Zips on our breath.

Idaho Trip | Day One
Last week Chris and I went up to Idaho to visit my family. Every day was full of fun adventures! We took quite a few pictures so each day will have it's very own blog post.
Our first day we flew into Spokane Washington. We grabbed a great lunch at a place called Huckleberry's. Then we checked out a rose garden. The rose's weren't in bloom yet, but they had some other nice flowers to check out. Better than anything you'd see in Arizona, that's for sure!
After that we checked out a Japanese Meditation Garden. Very pretty!
Then we walked around some shops in Coeur d'Alene, checked Coeur d'Alene Lake out and had an incredible 16 inch long sundae, Yum!
We killed it!

Trip to Pinetop...
Johnna says it's been too long since I (Chris), last posted on OUR blog.
We just got back this afternoon from a trip up to Pinetop. I don't think we had been since Christmas. I was honored to be hired to photograph one of my sister's best friend's wedding in Snowflake on Saturday. As we drove away from the valley on Thursday evening we watched the thermometer on the dashboard drop drop drop before our eyes starting at 106` and ending in the low 70's by the time we got to Pinetop- it was nice to get out of the heat.
On Friday we took Skippy with us on a walk with my mom and her dog:
pictured: Skippy (right) Johnna's foot (left)
Later on that day we met the lovely bride and groom at the temple for some portraits at the temple in Snowflake. I will have those up on my photography blog later today. Here is a lovely shot that Johnna took with my backup camera while I was shooting. Don't you think this angle of me COMPLETELY prone on the ground is lovely?
and me the next day with the groom:

Look what Chris got for his birthday. . .
This year our birthday present priorities seemed to have changed.
Chris got. . .
baby onesies?! What the!
If you can't tell from the choice of onesies, we're expecting and it's a BOY!
We are due the first week of October.
I am currently in my 18th week of pregnancy.
My 'bump' is looking a little muffin topish if you ask me. . . But we're getting there.

Paxman Fam Fun
Chris's parents recently purchased a condo down here in Mesa. It's been nice to see them more often. Yesterday we all got together for dinner and dessert.
First we had dinner at Pei Wei's. (Chris's fave.)
Then we had knock off Cold Stone ice cream. Yum!

If you're going to carry children as passengers in your car, the best plan is to have them all in seats, wearing seatbelts. Not only did this Romanian motorist have four kids riding in the open trunk of a tiny sedan, he almost got hit by a semi as he was making a left turn.
The children looked to be having a good time, but then they often do when unaware of their own peril. Their day could have ended badly had this irresponsible driver turned a moment later and been clobbered by the huge, air horn blasting truck barreling down the other lane.

Czech car racer Otakar Krámský died in Austria's Rechberg on Saturday during a training ride for the European Hill Climb Championship, after his car skidded off the track and hit a tree. According to his coleague, the accident was caused by a technical defect. Krámský, who was 55 years old, was a multiple Czech champion in hill climb races and a three-time European title winner.
The Czech tennis player Jiří Veselý has reached his second ATP World Tour final, after beating Spain's Daniel Gimen 2:6, 6:1, 6:4 in the semi-finals in Bucharest on Saturday. The 21-year old player won the first ATP title of his carrer in January this year at the Heineken Open in Auckland, New Zealand. The seventh-seeded Czech will face the winner of the second semi-final between Gael Monfils and Guillermo Garcia-Lopez on Sunday.
The Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs is trying to contact all Czech citizens in Nepal, which was hit by a powerful earthquake on Saturday. Several hundred people are reported to have died during the earthquake, which measured 7.9 on the Richter scale, but the death toll is likely to be much higher, with many people still trapped under the rubble. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Michaela Lagronová said no Czech citiznes are reported to have died in the disaster. She also said the ministry is trying to locate all Czech citizens in the affected area, although it is very difficult under the present circumstances.
The Czech Foreign Ministry has dismissed Russia's request for
assistance in the Night Wolves' ride across the Czech territory,
adding that riders must apply for a permit themselves. The ministry said on
Friday that it would be difficult to settle the application in time.
Meanwhile, President Miloš Zeman said that he could see nothing bad about
the planned ride, describing the reactions to it as "hysterical".
The Night Wolves, a motorcycle gang with close ties to the Kremlin, want to commemorate the victory of the Soviet troops over the Nazi Germany 70 years ago by a ride across Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Austria, ending in Berlin on May 9. They set off from Moscow on Saturday despite Poland's announcemnt that it would refuse to let them in the country.
Former Czech ice hockey international and coach Ladislav Lubina has been ordered to pay half a million crowns in damages to the family of a man he killed in a car accident, Mladá Fronta daily reported on Saturday. Lubina caused a four-vehicle crash near Hradec Králové in 2007, fleeing the scene. The man who was killed in the crash was the father of former football international Vratislav Lokvenc. However, Mr Lubina cannot pay the imposed fine since he has declared insolvency and faces seizure of property.
Police have concluded an investigation into the murder of two Czechs, a mother and daughter, who died in the Hurgada resort in summer 2013, Mladá Fronta daily wrote on Saturday. The father of the family, Petr Kramný, was charged with murdering his 36-year old wife and eight-year-old daughter by electrocution. Mr Kramný, who has been in custody since February 2014, denies any wrongdoing and insists that his wife and daughter were poisoned. If convicted of the murders Kramný faces from 15 to 20 years in jail.
In ice hockey, the Czech national team beat Finland for the second time in three days with a 3:2 victory in Brno on Friday. The decisive goal came from Jakub Voráček in a shootout. Two of the other Czech goals were scored by Michal Jordán and Vladimír Sobotka. Jaromír Jágr also featured in the Czech line-up. The duel, which was part of the Euro Hockey Tour, was the last warm up match for the world championships, which start in Prague and Ostrava at the beginning of May.
The European Commission will launch an information campaign on consumer rights in the Czech Republic in order to increase people's awareness of their rights when buying goods or taking consumer loans, European Commissioner for Justice, Consumer Issues and Gender Equality Věra Jourová told journalists on Friday. The campaign will target particularly young people aged 18-35 years who are considering taking the first consumer loan. According to a recent poll conducted by the TNS agency, 38 percent of Czechs do not feel sufficiently informed about their rights relating to consumer loans and only 30 percent of Czechs read the conditions of a loan carefully before signing the deal.
Pope Francis has accepted an invitation from President Miloš Zeman to visit the Czech Republic. The Czech head of state, who was granted an audience by the Holy Father in the Vatican on Friday, said the date of the visit has yet to be set but should take place by the spring of 2018, before the end of his first term in office. The Czech president expressed great admiration for the Pope's leadership of the Catholic Church saying that the Holy Father's philosophy reflected his own beliefs. Mr. Zeman brought the Pope a copy of the famous Infant Jesus of Prague, a wax statuette made in Spain in the 16th century which is highly revered particularly in the Hispanic world, where Pope Francis comes from.
A convoy of 30 historical U.S. military vehicles rode through Prague on Friday within celebrations of the 70th anniversary of the country's liberation from Nazi rule. According to the organizers, the ride was organized not only in remembrance of US war veterans, but also to symbolically fulfil the unfulfilled wish of General George Smith Patton to liberate Prague. Although General Patton's army could have progressed to Prague he was bound by an agreement with Russia to stop at the demarcation line in western Bohemia. The convoy´s arrival in Prague annually opens its tour of western Bohemian towns that were liberated by the 3rd U.S. army under Patton´s command. It will culminate with a ceremonial parade in the West Bohemian town of Plzen on May 3.

I love Mount & Blade. Sure, it's a little rough around the edges, and its ugly as sin, but that's just part of the charm. What other game lets you engage in 200-man battles with muskets and/or swords? Not enough, that's how many.
Correction: I did love Mount & Blade. Now, having seen this texture glitch, replacing "sky" with "dude's face", I'm not so sure. I'm not sure I'm going to get to sleep tonight, either.
Mount and Blade has some of the weirdest glitches....[Reddit]

And if yes, what would the premise of that episode been?
Yes, they did think about starting the next episode with Garrison finishing the sentence. No, it wasn't going to be a setup for the whole episode. Commentary here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHX_SFmrSYo

Would any of you happen to know if there were any episodes or premises planned for Season 5 that just never got made?

"Marjorine" wasn't a scrapped beta plan, either, though perhaps it should have been. Once again, commentary here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6uoWo3i-60 They say that they should have made two episodes out of the ideas in "Marjorine," and later really wished they had because they tend to run out of ideas at the end of the run.

I seriously doubt it. See above about running out of ideas. It could be there were suggestions that never made it out of the writers room, but odds are we'll never know what those were.
Full-on scrapping of episodes is almost unheard of because they have pretty much no lead time and make most episodes in six days. (I say most because they will at times try to "bank" an episode early in the run so they can take a couple days off, so those episodes have some lead time, but those are sometimes the least popular episodes in a run. "Pip" is a prime example of this, and they don't make a habit of banking shows as much anymore.) According to the commentaries, the one time they actually scrapped a whole idea the result was "Million Little Fibers."
Frickin great *\o/*
:) cool
Lol the end XD
I wish people could understand...
In the end, South Park will make fun of everybody and everything for SOMETHING.

This book is meant to be a reference for the BASIC dialect Monkey, published by Blitz Research Ltd.
Monkey is a BASIC dialect programming language that translates Monkey code into multiple cross-platforms. Currently the supported target platforms include Windows, Mac OS X, Android, iOS, HTML5, Flash and XNA.
Monkey is the latest programming language by Blitz Research Limited, following BlitzMax (2004) and BlitzBasic (2000), two prior BASIC programming dialects from the same author.
Monkey code is translated into the target language via the Trans tool and into a native compiler depending on the target platform. Monkey requires the use of other compilers and development kits to reach the end target. This process is largely automated with the accompanying IDE, Monk (2011) and Ted (2012).
Modules provide the runtime functionality of Monkey. They are stored in the modules directory inside the Monkey directory, and accessed via the Import commands.
Code ExampleEdit
Function Main:Bool()
Local hex:Int = $f0c090
Return True
End Function
Function HexToColour:Void(hex:Int)
Local r:Int = hex Shr 16 & $0000ff
Local g:Int = hex Shr 8 & $0000ff
Local b:Int = hex & $0000ff

AOL (NYSE:AOL) CEO Tim Armstrong's job has become less secure in the wake of the ouster of Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) CEO Carol Bartz.
Like Bartz, Armstrong, is trying to turn around a lumbering giant of a tech company that is a shadow of its former self. And both CEOs have failed to deliver for shareholders. Shares of New York-based AOL stock are down more than 34% this year while Yahoo, which is based in Sunnyvale, Calif., is down more than 17%. (Yahoo's figures also include today's gain in the wake of Bartz's departure.)
According to the Wall Street Journal, "Independent directors did a study of Yahoo's assets and performance in the past two weeks and concluded the company wasn't performing as well as it could." That was probably the least necessary study in the history of corporate America because Yahoo's faults have been well documented for years. Nonetheless, AOL's board would reach a similar conclusion if it were to conduct such a study.
AOL's weaknesses, like Yahoo's, are hardly a secret. It struggles to attract readers and advertisers. Yahoo lost its long-time ranking as the most popular website several years ago and last year was pushed down to third place by Facebook. Similarly, traffic to all AOL sites was flat in the latest quarter compared with a year earlier. It's worth noting that the Huffington Post however, has seen a bump in traffic that was spurred in part by the closure of several AOL sites after the buyout of HuffPo.
So is Armstrong worse or better than Bartz? Well, neither CEO would win a popularity contest. Bartz's ;prickly personality has been described in numerous articles though Atlantic.com noted "even if she'd been as sweet as Reese Witherspoon, people would have hated her." Indeed, it's tough to win friends as a cost cutter.
Armstrong is more personable than Bartz, though he has plenty of critics for allowing the company to become a magnet for negative publicity. The most recent saga involves TechCrunch founder Mike Arrington. Arrington's boss Arianna Huffington nixed a plan that would have allowed him to write about firms bankrolled by a venture fund he would run with AOL. She told David Carr of the New York Times that Arrington had given up control of the blog — and Arrington denies this and now is demanding that AOL sell the blog back to him if it can't guarantee "complete editorial independence."
This is all further proof that AOL and Yahoo have failed to articulate a coherent strategy detailing how they plan to compete in today's media environment. For instance, can these companies continue to partner with content creators and compete against them as well? Creating content is not cheap. Advertisers, though, are willing to pay higher rates for ads on stories that aren't going to be seen on other websites. Then there's the question of which services should be kept and which should be shuttered or sold.
These companies, which began in the early days of the Internet, need to figure out what they want to be when they grow up. Yahoo has decided to make this journey with a new CEO. AOL may make the same decision.
